Pros

Brand name (or whatever is left of it) Few decent staff who are largely left under utilized and overwhelmed

Cons

They have no idea of what they're doing. I was recruited from a well known international insurance company to handle brokers and sales and my role was reduced to that of a receptionist. My so called manager comes to work as if he just got out of bed and delegates all his work to a guy who used to be the office boy. That's equivalent of giving ownership of your house to the watchman. Constantly insulted and put down and the 'senior' staff were just a bunch of bullies. If you're an East Asian and the management is largely from the Levant area, kiss your career goodbye
